Shownotes

Are we still forming citizens or just handing out paperwork?

When we stop teaching what it means to belong, we shouldn’t be surprised when it all starts falling apart.

We’re not just talking immigration here. We’re talking assimilation and what it means to share a civic life, and why that sense of national identity feels like it’s slipping away.

In this episode of The InSight Out Show, Devin shares:

  1. Why we’re more partisan than patriotic and how that’s fracturing the country
  2. How other countries handle citizenship (and what we can learn from them)
  3. What assimilation really means and why we’ve misunderstood it
  4. How civic habits like jury duty and voting reveal what we value
  5. What childcare fraud, PPP scams, and skipping jury duty have in common
  6. How national belonging begins with personal responsibility

Scripture, reflection, and real talk meet here. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about formation, freedom, and the fabric of American life.
